Book One in the Series.

Awaken to the spirit world, for there lie your gifts granted by Spirit.

Inspired by true events, Canadian author Santego’s (Journey of a Soul) first book in The Nine Spiritual Gifts series blends Christian values, ghosts, and paranormal activity in telling the story of a woman saving her dead sister’s soul. In contemporary New York, fashion designer Alexandra Lexi Constantine is distraught after her older sister Susannah died in a car accident. Lexi wakes from a dream in which Susannah’s soul reveals she has not gone to Heaven but is stuck in a foreboding dark Void. Lexi visits Tamara Reeves, a powerful medium, who speaks with Susannah’s spirit and is told that because Susannah is an atheist, she cannot get into Heaven. To free Susannah from the Void and convince her to believe in God, Lexi enlists the help of Reverend Hawthorne, a mortician comfortable around the dead, and Detective Ferguson Redington. The detective is investigating Susannah’s accident as a homicide and her connections with a drug smuggling case involving auctions of high-end antiques.

As Lexi participates in Tamara’s seance that transfers Susannah’s wandering soul to a terrestrial ghost bound to a child’s toy, the meandering plot diverges into superfluous side stories on demon possession, cartoon gangsters, and a mole in the police department.

Journey of a Soul shares the inspirational premise of family bonds, Christian faith, and communication with the spirit world. If you enjoy enlightening Spiritual fiction, then you won’t want to miss Journey of a Soul!
